Although I failed to create much in the way of completed art work in 2014, I did spend some time working on projects. Last June I blogged about a project I was working on that was all about Gothic windows. I adore Gothic architecture and really wanted to do a piece about it. I got to this point and got stuck:

I worried over it, thought about it, took it to both my critique groups, and still could not resolve certain design flaws. Eventually I decided to put it away for a while and come back to it later. "Later" became now when I saw that Somerset Studio magazine had put out a call for Gothic themed artwork for a 2015 issue. The time away from the project was very helpful, as it allow my brain to percolate on solutions in the background and this time I was able to bring the project to fruition. I will be mailing it off to Stampington and Co. this afternoon. Wish me luck! Here is the finished piece:

About Me.....

I am a mixed media artist living with my husband and too many cats in Lakewood, Colorado. I believe I was meant to live an artistic life and dream of the day when I can be a full time artist. For me the joy of creating is found in experimentation. I love to learn and try new things and see where it takes me. Art should be about play, not perfection!
